Chapter 73: Looking for Pomegranates
The three of them walked inside for more than a quarter of an hour, before a bonfire was lit at the foot of a small hill.
It was slightly dark, and the gas from the campfire was not very obvious.
Yu An quickly cut a bamboo, and according to Wang Huiniang's request, cut three bamboo tubes of similar size.
Yu Qiao found some mushrooms, took them and Wang Huiniang went to the stream to wash the mushrooms and rice beans.
After washing, Wang Huiniang tore up all the mushrooms, mixed them evenly with rice, and put salt in them, which was stuffed into the bamboo tube little by little.
Put the bamboo tube on the fire and roast it slowly, and keep turning the bamboo tube while leaning.
It didn't take long for the fragrance of bamboo mixed with the fragrance of rice wafting out.
As time passes, the flavor gets stronger and stronger.
Yu Qiao was already a little hungry, but after smelling this smell, he suddenly felt even more hungry.
Licking his lips, Yu Qiao asked with some expectation, "Mother, when can I eat it?" ”
Wang Huiniang turned the bamboo tube in her hand and said to Yu Qiao soothingly, "Don't worry, the rice must be cooked before you can eat it." ”
Saying that, Wang Huiniang thought of one more thing, "While the sky is still dark, the two of you will go to find the pomegranate tree together." It's all said, if you don't go back with something, it's hard to explain. ”
Yu Qiao also understood this truth, and immediately agreed when he heard this.
Just as Yu Qiao was about to walk around the neighborhood, Yu An spoke, "I know where there is a pomegranate tree, I'll go, you guys are waiting for me here." ”
"Really?" Yu Qiao was a little unconvinced.
Yu An didn't want her to follow her, so she said that, right?
Yu An seemed to see what Yu Qiao was thinking, and said with a smile, "I really know, I saw it when I caught pheasants and rabbits before, and it happened to be not far from here." ”
What Yu An said, Yu Qiao didn't say anything more, just asked Yu An to come over early.
"If you can't find it, it doesn't matter, come back quickly, it's not safe in the mountains when it's dark." Yu Qiao admonished.
Hearing Yu Qiao's words, Yu An showed a big smile on his face, "Ah Qiao, are you worried about me?" ”
Before Yu Qiao could answer, Wang Huiniang on the side had already said with a smile, "Isn't it, our Ah Qiao is becoming more and more sensible, and she has become a big girl in the blink of an eye." I think about things more thoughtfully than I am a mother! ”
Hearing this, Yu Qiao's face was a little hot.
She just said it in passing, why was she pulled by Wang Huiniang to grow up?
Yu An didn't wait for Yu Qiao to explain anything, waved at the two of them and left.
He walked as fast as he could, and soon his figure disappeared into the woods.
Yu Qiao looked at the direction Yu An left, and always felt a little strange in his heart.
Yu An has only been here twice, why is he so familiar with this place?
If you think about it, maybe it's a good memory.
Yu Qiao retracted his gaze, and his gaze fell on the bamboo tube again.
The bamboo, which was originally verdant and green, had been scorched black under the scorching flames.
Although the bamboo tube is no longer good-looking, the fragrance is getting stronger and stronger.
Yu Qiao looked at the black, black, green and green bamboo tube, and only felt that his stomach was getting more and more hungry.
I don't know how long it took, it was already completely dark, and Wang Huiniang said, "You can eat it." ”
Yu Qiao, who was a little drowsy, immediately came to his senses again after hearing this.
